All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXIV

[robkelk]

Aargh... Used the "edit every page in this category" setting on the mass-edit page, and MediaWiki claims that none of the pages in the category exist... And then it claimed they don't exist when I gave it a list copied from the category. So no bot run to replace "Category:Wild Mass Guessing/Webcomics" with "Category:Wild Mass Guessing/Web Comics".

Doing the other bot run now, to replace link(s) to "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy" with link(s) to "The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy". The system gives me 50* errors if I give it more than 50 page names at a time, so this is going to take a while... Good thing I budgeted five hours for the task.

The 50* errors lead to the situation where the edits were done but the database wasn't fully updated, so the pages are still showing as using the redirect. The only fix appears to be to make anopther edit to each page still on the list... which is roughly half of the pages. <sigh>

Strongly recommend we don't do any mass edits for a while.
